Face of Mankind is a science fiction-themed online world title that takes place in the 24th century, at a time when humanity has reached out into space from the over-crowded Earth, only to be confronted by threats from various alien species. Within this context, Frankfurt, Germany-based developer Duplex Systems is placing a strong emphasis on the game's story element, including both the backstory and an epic ongoing experience that players will reportedly be able to influence and change. Other key aspects include a rank-based character development scheme, 10 distinct organizations players can join, and a complex economic system.

The team has licensed its visual technology, electing to use the Talon system from LithTech. The screenshots released have been impressive, showing diverse indoor and outdoor locations. Some of these have depicted the team's futuristic visions of places here on Earth such as parts of Tokyo and New York. Others have shown us far more distant locales including glimpses of colonies on Epsilon Eridani, Antares et al. Naturally, we were eager both to see and to show more. Thanks to Duplex Systems, we're pleased to offer you the chance to check out these cool new views of areas and elements from the game.

The first screenshot this week shows a character in the Manhattan area. The second shows an old mining device in the DeMorgans Castle colony complex. The other two give us our very first glimpses at Ganymede, one of the biggest moons around the planet Jupiter. With a diameter of about 5,268 km it is larger than Mercury. The colony complex is located in the Isis Area and is devoted to mining since Ganymede's surface conceals many crystalline minerals and ores.
